War Eagle!

Greetings!

This past week was filled with so many Auburn University spirited events. It was time again for members of the SGA and other students to re-paint the tiger paws down Donahue Drive and on Toomer's Corner. Each year a team of dedicated students diligently touch up the orange tiger paws guiding driver's to Jordan Hare Stadium. I had a blast being a part of this team, and luckily did not get orange paint all over myself. It was a lot a fun to drive past these areas the next morning and see the result of the hours of hard work put into this project.

 A group of students are pictured above re-painting the big tiger paw at the intersection of Donahue and Samford. We were out until nearly midnight, so we were definitely lagging by the last stretch of road! Take a drive down Donahue and admire our handy work!!

An afternoon with Aubie is always a good time! I had my photo shoot this week for the 2012 Aubie calendar. I have the pleasure of being featured with Aubie himself for the month of February. Of course, we had many different poses and ideas, and the final one will be presented in the next Aubie calendar. Be sure to pick up a copy and check it out!

And the week could not have been complete without a performance at the last Camp War Eagle pep rally of the year. I performed my Miss Alabama baton routine to "Conga" for the entering freshman and camp counselors. It seemed very fitting since I performed at the first CWE pep rally of the summer. I always have a great time performing for the student body, and I am thrilled for fall to arrive so I can begin performing with the Auburn University Marching Band on Pat Dye field with the other 15 Auburn majorettes!

I'm looking forward to bringing you more updates as fall draws closer and my final semester as Miss Auburn University 2011 approaches.

With Love  & War Eagle,
Emilee
